I failed ALL the checks SAVE FOR THE DODGING THE BULLET AND SAVING KIM ONE!!!!!!!

I didn't know the scab leader was a mercenary. I knew Pines set him up but like... woah. Klatjee's gone too. Before they all arrived.

Glen, Theo, Agnus, Titus and even Elizabeth died. I feel really shaken about it. I'll miss Titus.

That was the most intense scene, so cool...

I don't really like the misogynist elements of DE. It's a wonderful game, and of course the women are great (Just look at Joyce, Cunoesse, the fisher lady in the village and the cleaning woman for example) but this game makes it *very clear* that you're in the snakeskin shoes of someone who was wronged/feels that has been wronged by a woman, and this someone cannot stop thinking about it.

The women in this game are really important, they help us so much. I just wish Harry saw it!

Some more thoughts about DE, and recovery, this time under a cut.

I like how different skills (often those in the same position/family!) conflict.

Empathy and Authority clash the most often. For example, in the call with Sylvia Authority was telling me to keep pressuring her, but Empathy pointed out that she was getting upset (he did the same earlier with the black woman with gloves), and suggested me to back down. I followed Empathy's advice because I didn't want Sylvia to be upset.

And a very nice thing that Empathy did beforehand was help me out with Cuno, and he made me figure out Cuno's just all talk and no bite. I'm sure that if I spec into Composture and Drama the build will be crazy. I need to level up Pain Treshold though, I'm very weak, I tried to break down the bookshop door and I lost health.

Volition helps me out NOT falling out of the wagon, which I really appreciate; see, I was at Frittte and I saw the balcon with all the cigs and bottles, and of course Electrochemistry told me how amazing and nice those things were :/ but again Volition helps me out and I don't want to disappoint him/me/us. Fuck Electrochemistry though I'm not listening to him/myself.

The reason I'm doing that despite him being a physical skill is partially because he is too relatable (long story I have problems) and partially because I want to play a Harry that after a horrible memory-shattering bender is going cold turkey. Seeing the scene with Esprit the Corpse (where all the colleagues talk about our state after we finish the call, the radio one), "I don't want to get better, I want to get worse -- he told me that", it made me cement this decision.

TL;DR: I need to listen to my other skills more, give Composture and PT some love, and ignore Electrochemistry because it's basically the addiction talking to me. Volition wants to help me, Electro wants me to forget myself.

I'm not going to get more maximum health, but at least I won't spiral.

Another note; this game is very realistic in terms of recovery. I do not smoke nor drink, but I relate to Harry's struggles. Not even in a "Lol he just like me fr" way but in a "Wow, I get you. I understand where you're coming from" way. Again, the want to get worse and still have people around you who want you to be better hits close.

This game is affecting me more than I thought :) and it's not even day 2 yet!

Anyway yeah! Super good game, can't wait to play more, I've got Kim's back.

*rubbing out sweat from my brow* Man hahaha... those parallels between Harry Du Bois and the murder victim sure are something- *checks the clock* interesting... haha... *looks around* pretty wild, right? I mean like, the pose is the same, and he sees himself hanged from the tree.

Rhetoric: Psst!

Me: Mh?

Rhetoric: Psst, you!

Me: Yes? Me?

Rhetoric: Yes you!

Me: Oh, hello! You're Rhetoric! I'm Himitsu, I'm playing your unified self in this game and--

Rhetoric: Don't worry about the meta aspect, I am here to congratulate you.

Me: Oh what?

Rhetoric: You are becoming a Comunist

Me:

Rhetoric: Good job, pal. Are you read to call the fire squad?

Me: Wait what?

Rhetoric: You know, you can't break an omelette without breaking a few eggs!

It's nice seeing that a place in the world still has snow, even if it's a fictional one

Playing disco elysium and I got to help out Cuno. I know who I am investing my experience points in!

Ok so we all know that during sexual arousal more blood goes to the genitals, and less of it goes to the brain. Not so much to be a problem of course but enough so that you focus on how good it feels and try to have more of it than like say think about if you should buy groceries from that fancy new market down the street.

What I mean to say is this;

When Harry gets it does he have a hard time hearing the attributes/skills/coaches or do they slowly become a bunch of frat guys and just encourage their unified self Detective Harry Du Bois along.
